Mat's Espresso Bar Setup

[@Kyle900t]

As a guy working in the coffee industry, this was refreshing to listen to! Matt knows his stuff and seems genuinely appreciative of the nuances of making espresso. The GS3 is an awesome machine and he's right that, most importantly, its all about the grinder (and distribution in the basket AND obviously the coffee). So many great roasters now days too out there. Gotta love it.

[@Luke-do1ek]

could you recommend a good budget set up for a novice espresso lover? it is my dads 70th bday soon and he has a double shot of espresso every afternoon and loves the routine and i would love to upgrade him from his little Nespresso machine, but he doesn't need anything crazy like this

[@Kyle900t]

@@Luke-do1ek Hey. It really depends on a lot of things. Budget, milk drinks, space in kitchen, expectations, etc. Also grinder is more important then the machibe. I suggest you browse the home-barista forum. You'll get a much better answer then what I can give you here.

[@nickouellette1]

@@Luke-do1ek The Breville Oracle is prob the best combo of premium enough, semi-auto expresso machine You can prob get one of the older ones (without the touch screen, which is not useful enough to justify price IMO) for < $2k. $1.5-2.5k I think is around the min budget for an entry level 'serious' espresso setup If you are making an espresso drink every day with good beans, the machine should 'pay for' itself after a couple of years IMO anything much cheaper (including the Nespresso products) is just not in the same universe.. not to mention all the pods you have have constantly buy

I was a barista for 6 years. Very impressed with your knowledge and set up. I’ll volunteer to come teach you latte art!

[@timgerber5563]

This coffee setup is absurd! To everyone who didn’t know before that that’s a GS3: Even if you have the money for it, you consider twice if you put such a machine in your home. It’s the coffee equivalent of a super sports car. For home use, I would already consider the Linea Mini (one class under this beauty) as my craziest dream. But hell, if you are five times fittest man, own a military arsenal of guns and the finest fitness equipment there is, why not go all in for coffee as well! Love it! I hope this continues to bring you great joy! My Appartamento definitely does that every morning for me.

[@keeramitrokli5486]

I never realized how good our coffee was in Australia until I did some traveling. It’s honestly so good. This was such an interesting video to watch. Loving your channel.

[@asselinpower]

Coffee in Australia is simply something else . It s next level. I’m from Canada and people don’t understand coffee here . I travelled to Australia 15 years ago and still remember how good coffee was .

[@TheHobbyShop1]

Holy cow. I did not realize there was so much to it. I’m where you started. Drink it for the results not necessarily the taste. Maybe I should try better coffee. This video certainly convinced me of that. Nice work man.

Bought my first machine a year ago, the breville barista pro. Love it, and after days of research, trial, and error... It is pretty cool to stumble onto this video, and hearing you name everything accurately. You know your Joe, Matt. Get your latte game on, almond milk is kind of challenging to do latte art but you can drink gallons without screwing up your macros.

[@Cogito1978]

Listening to Mat on rogan, as a coffee nerd myself, my spidey sense went off when he mentioned the "linea mini" that rogan was gifted. Now this video drops! Awesome.

[@timTNTtucker]

Watching this whilst drinking an espresso just hit differently 👌

[@jayb555-r9k]

For Non-Coffee people watching this, do not be intimidated. Espresso is a world in and of itself even in the world of specialty coffee. You can get some amazing results doing filter coffee using something like a v60 cone filter and an entry electric grinder like Wilfa Svart grinder or a manual grinder like the Hario Mini. The whole setup costing you around $50 and taking up minimal space. Mat is clearly well versed in Espresso and he's built a very solid setup over time. You can start really small and cheap and get results that are WAY WAY WAY better than Starbucks/Instant and gives you room to explore new beans and flavors.

[@quintenstamper5979]

Totally geeking out over this video. Ever since my wife and I went to Italy (funny you say) Florence to be exact. My wife and I have been trying find coffee/espresso as good as there’s.

His pronunciation of La Marzocco is adorable

[@sohailhines]

Not sure adorable is the word I'd use. It's an Italian brand so the correct pronunciation should be obvious. I've never heard anyone else pronounce the name this way. Did he watch any other reviews or videos before making his own?
